| We now have our very own (cartoon) TASCHEN store in Springfield, thanks to “The Simpsons”! On the latest episode of “The Simpsons,” “The Day The Earth Stood Cool” a shiny new TASCHEN store opens in the Simpsons’ hometown of Springfield. The premise of the episode is that Homer wants a younger, hipper image so he starts hanging out with his “cool” new neighbors from Portland, Oregon. The “cool” Portlandians have a vision of turning Springfield into a hipster paradise where the Quickie Mart turns into a Whole Foods, the tire factory turns into an American Apparel, and the comic book shop turns into—what else?—a TASCHEN Store!
